  • On the post: Patent Trolls Now Make Up More Than Half Of All Patent Lawsuits

    Feels like claims of frivolous injury law suits

    I don't follow this like you guys, but this feels an awful lot like the claims that the majority of cases filed by injury victims were frivolous. It's a tactic that works in the court room. A jury would presume the plaintiff had frivolous case.

    Here, I have to believe judges are wondering if they're facing a patent troll, whatever that is.

    Content needs context

    You're spot on. As we work on an aggreation of law blog content at LexBlog, it's not the aggregation of stuff that makes it worthwhile. It's how we make this content more valuable and relevant to the legal community, to the media (bloggers and msm), and to the public. Content needs context.

    Thanks for the sanity

    Good to get a contra view on this.

    Chubb did a 'never mind'

    Joe, Chubb figured out what blogs were and issued a press release in reponse to my prodding that 98% of lawyer blogs posed no problem as far as coverage for the blogging firm.

    It's only those blogs where lawyers give specific advice by replying to comments on their blog in such a way that an lawyer-client releationship could be construed where Chubb would not cover the firm. Not suprising that no one has been able to find of those blogs.
